Allright, while I was on pred I had two side effects one I liked and the other I can deal with. I've been trying to get off of it since early october when I began steppinng down from 20mg. Now Im at 2.5mg a day. Well I have felt worse and worse every day. While at 20mg a day I had no "D", none at all but since then it has been back to many times a day some formed but most of them not. So Im calling my GI monday and hopefully I can get a script for 20mg, I loved the increased hunger, but I did not like the acne. That is a small pice to pay though.Symptoms Of Crohn's June of '06 (21 years old 285lbs).

I know how you feel. I am fighting the same thing with Entocort. a few days after I reduce my dose I have a terrible flare up and can barely function. I actually get clearer skin while on pred though and I lost weight. While on Entocort I gain. Strange huh? I wish I could go back on pred but it just causes to many long term side effects :(

I hope you feel better soon!!! Maybe you can wean off the pred successfully.

How long have u been on Humira for now? If it's only been a month or so i'm surprised they took you off the 20mg until the Humira fully kicked in.You might have to taper slower too off the pred, either way good luck :)Male DX with CD May 2006 @ age 22

Tried Pentasa and Entocort, worked for a yr and a bit

Taking Prednisone 35mg, and now on Atenolol 25mg for fast heartbeat (thanks Pred!) and Restoril 30mg for the sleepless nights I have sometimes.

Guess I forgot about the mood swings, I though I was going to put my fist through the wall at work the other day, but it does work. I felt so much better after I started on it in august, but now going back to how I was.Symptoms Of Crohn's June of '06 (21 years old 285lbs).

The werid thing is when I had acne as a teen it was on my face and back, but with pred I got it only prominently on my right arm.Symptoms Of Crohn's June of '06 (21 years old 285lbs).
